Subject: [29/35] bug.h: Add WARN_RATELIMIT

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com>

[ Upstream commit b3eec79b0776e5340a3db75b34953977c7e5086e ]

Add a generic mechanism to ratelimit WARN(foo, fmt, ...) messages
using a hidden per call site static struct ratelimit_state.

Also add an __WARN_RATELIMIT variant to be able to use a specific
struct ratelimit_state.
